Chrisitan Schoolgirl Expelled Over Sexuality
Really? So a young girl admits to having feelings for another girl on her Facebook page, which has NOTHING to do with her school or teachers, and she ended up expelled from a Christian school. I understand the the Supreme Court has ruled that private schools can make those kinds of decisions. If they don't want public funding, I'm all for it. But lets look at this logically. The girl did not stand in the courtyard of her school and scream: I LIKE GIRLS while wearing a rainbow t-shirt. She posted something on a private networking site that was not affliated with the school at all. I think that's just ridiculous. Reason 1,981 why my children will never attend a Christian School.

Teen fakes pregnancy...
Washington teen fakes pregnancy
When I first caught the above headline on the Google news page, I did the typical double take. It seems a teenage girl in Washington faked her pregnancy for seven months as part of a school project on stereotypes. The only people who knew the pregnancy was fake were her boyfriend and mother. What she found was people treated her differently because of a perceived mistake. People who had known her, been her friend, suddenly found her annoying or needy due to her pregnancy. The teenager announced that she was not pregnant in a school assembly, which shocked the entire student body. I must say, bravo. She exploited the stereotype of a teenage pregnancy in a very harsh way. I think she has a lot of guts.
